Honestly, that's fair. At least when DA was acually a valid place to be, you could be pretty inactive and still have a good following and engagement because people would wait for your uploads.

Burnout on places like this is insane, and I hate to see artists visibly get tired via their work

Dude, I miss pre-Eclipse DA so bad. I agree that feed-based socials are terrible for artists unless you already have a large following.

I hate missing the art of artists I admire just because i wasn't online at the time and idk i just feel weird going to their page to seek out what I missed
